It's a private use area. It will never carry an official character assignment.

I know that U+F0000 - U+FFFFF is a private use area. I don't find a definition of U+F01xx to know what the notation means. Are you picking a particular character within the private use area, or a particular range, or what?

It's a range. The lower-case 'x' denotes a variable half-byte, ranging from 0 to F. So this is the range U+F0100..U+F01FF, giving 256 code points.

Regards, Martin
